ok well i have downloaded all the shit that i could from here to try and host a server, but its so fukcing hard it makes me want to smash the computer, expecially when i read the readmes and it says its easy. i dont know how to get into the configuration wizard so it looks like im gonna have to set it up with notepad. help please.

Please , dont be so harsh on your selfe .

Well . its symple / open notepad (many people think that notepad is only for text documents , well . its not . u can open probaby anything with it ) so .. open it . and click [ctrl] + [ O] wich is .. open command , go and open "mtaserver.conf" wich is localed in the "Server" Directory , inside MTA Direcory , once u opened that .. u just read and follow along . this will setup the server .(there's no "wizzard" this is it ..)

Everything in that document with out the "#" thingy in front of it . the computer will read /. and take it into action . so . the stuff the mta team wrote will have a # in front of it . they wrote that just to tell you were each thing goes , once u are done , hit [ctrl] + , wich is to save . and then ur clear to get out of there . close notepad . and u should be in the mta direcotry/Server folder , so now ur ready to launch the server , click on "Mtaserver.exe" it has a dos sign . a black window will open (for all n00bs = dont worrie , mta inst deleting your windows ..) afer you have opened that .exe , keep it open . and your mta server will appear in ASE , and other people can join it .

To join your own server , connect to your ip . or this "localhost"

Others will be able to join your server by your ip , localhost will not work for them ..

Ohhw . had to take that all out of me . lol . so now i think people will stop posting asking .. wheres "mtaserver.exe" and those small stuff , wich is obvious to some ..

cya . hope i helped ya dude !
